The Death of Ownership: Everything Is Becoming a Rental
When did buying something stop meaning it belonged to us?
From digital-only games and streaming movies to subscription software and purchases that can disappear, JP examines a world in which consumers pay more while permanently owning less—and asks whether convenience is worth surrendering control.
In this episode:
• The difference between owning a product and licensing access
• How subscriptions changed games, movies, software and media
• What consumers lose when physical alternatives disappear
Question for you: What do you still insist on owning physically? Find JP on X or Instagram and share your answer.
